Question

The money given to help poor countries does not solve the problem of poverty, so rich countries should give other types of help instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Answer 1

⊕ANSWER⊕

• Many experts believe that financial supports that are given to poor countries are not effective and efficient; therefore there should be other kinds of help which could be considered.
• Firstly, it is a fact that illiteracy has become one of the major issues in poor countries, and developed countries could send some of their teachers to improve the education system there.
• It is hoped should the literacy rate increase, the number of unemployment will gradually reduce.
• Secondly, people of the poor countries are suffering due to the low quality of the health system there.
• Building more qualified hospitals and improving the quality of the medical staffs would be an effective way to help them.
• And lastly, many third world countries have a bad infrastructure and public transportation facilities.
• By building more roads and improving the public transports there, it is hoped that people of these poor countries would be more productive as they will have easier access to their workplaces.
• In conclusion, to a certain extent, I would agree that financial aids given by advanced countries to poor nations would not be the best solution in solving the poverty issue.
• However, since resolving poverty problem would be a long term project, financial help should also be given for a short period of time, but it should be strictly controlled.
